- Use real getopt() handling instead of the hand-rolled and
IOCCC-worthy "Micro getopt()" macros, plus clean up to the
option handling code:
* Sort the options in the switch statement;
* Plug piddling memory leaks when processing repeated options
by freeing strings before allocating them for a second time;
* Die with a fatal error if the requested report file cannot
be opened for appending;
* Don't call init() before usage() (to prevent the usage
message being mangled by changes to the terminal settings;)
- Clean up the usage message, both in usage() and in the main
program comment, both stylistically (sort and combine options)
and for accuracy (following the manual page, make note of the -s
and -S flags, and use the term 'send' instead of 'say' to reduce
confusion (SAY is the name of a command for output to the user,
not the connection.))

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
